Mmmm…people
Finally saw Thank You For Smoking the other night, and may I say that
by far, it is one of the best movies I have seen all year…well
written, acted, directed, all that jazz.Later that evening though, was sitting around talking with friends when my favorite subject came up again…well, one of them.
So lets say that tomorrow you woke up in a world where cannabalism was socially acceptable…would you try it?
I dont mean you grew up in this hypothetical world and thought it ws
okay, i mean the you as you stand there today with all your current
thoughts, perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs suddenly woke up one
morning and it was ok to eat people in the new world you were in.Would different ethnic groups/races taste different, do you think?
Would there be special restaurants to serve mankind? Would soylent
green be a smoothie flavor?To clarify: You are not starving, you would not be required to eat
people to save your life or that of your loved ones, and if you never
ate anyone it would not affect you in any negative or positive
way…given all that, and that you would be guaranteed of not having to
see or in any way know the person you eat…WOULD YOU TASTE PEOPLE?

I miss you! Come back to N. Chicago! Or better yet, Chicago! hehe
Josh, I would never want to get stuck with you on a deserted island. Your fascination with cannabalism is no comfort!! I’ll see that glimmer in your eye and I would just wonder…what are you REALLY thinking.
I would be too much in fear of my own life! I mean what if I was sitting there and all of a sudden my friend starts to knaw on my arm…”What the hell do you think you’re doing?” “Oh, sorry. I was getting a bit peckish and always wondered what you tasted like.”
It’s scary.
If cannabalism was socially acceptable I would eat the vegatarians first. I don’t know why I think it’s the irony of it all.
I wouldn’t, but that’s mostly because I don’t like the taste of Spam. Have you ever heard the story of Won Pork? Back in the days, certain countries in Asia used to eat human flesh. It was a delicacy. It was called Won Pork, and people loved it. When it was finally discovered what Won Pork really was, it was banned. Then suddenly one day, someone discovered Spam. Spam was the same flavor and texture as Won Pork. People were very excited, and the popularity of Spam exploded.
